., talking about impeachment. i just want to play senator rand paul appearing on fox and what he was saying about president obama. take a listen. >> our founding fathers were very concerned about having a separation of powers, they didn't want to let the president become a king. i'm afraid that president obama may have this king complex, sort of developing and we're going to make sure that it doesn't happen. >> so chris, i want to ask you based off of that, that's not the first time we have heard that type of language because we have these impeachment threats that are coming from other congressional leaders, the threat of impeachment coming from tray rid dell saying we have completely lost their checks and balances in this country, the congress needs to hold the president accountable for the decisions he's taking. and steve stocktop throwing out the impeachment word, what's the swell like in washington, d.c. with people throwing around that word, based on, you know, executive orders that have been put in place bef
